NAME

       GENLIB_GET_CON_X - retrieve the x coordinate of an instance connector

SYNOPSYS

       long GENLIB_GET_CON_X(insname, conname, index)
       char ∗insname, ∗conname;
       long index;

PARAMETERS

       insname             Name of the instance in the which the connector is to be searched for

       conname             Name of the connector

       index               Connector index

DESCRIPTION

       GET_CON_X  looks  for  the  connector,  conname,  in the instance called insname.  Then it
       computes its absolute coordinates in the figure, and gives back the x coordinate.

RETURN VALUE

       The function returns a long int beeing the x position of  the  connector  in  the  current
       figure

ERRORS

       "GENLIB_GET_CON_X impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
              No  figure  has  been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to
              place a connector inside it.  you must  call  DEF_PHFIG  before  any  other  layout
              action.
       "illegal getphins : instance called insname does not exist"
              No instance called insname exists in the current figure.
       "illegal getphcon : connectors conname, index index does not exist"
              No connector called conname exists in the model of the instance insname.

EXAMPLE

       #include <genlib.h>
       main()
       {
       long x, y;
            /∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
            GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
            GENLIB_PLACE("gaci0_b", "r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L);
            /∗ Get a connector ∗/
            x = GENLIB_GET_CON_X("r1", "a", 1);
            .
            .
            GENLIB_PHVIA(x, y, CONT_VIA);
            /∗ Save that on disk ∗/
            GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
       }
